In the Discomyceteae the hymenium is superior, that is, disposed upon the upper or exterior surface of the mushroom cap.
The hymenium is even, becoming darker colored when older.
S] Certain privileged cells of the hymenium swell, and ultimately become asci, enclosing a definite number of sporidia.

The hymenium itself consists of elongated fertile cells, or asci, mixed with linear thread-like barren cells, called paraphyses, which are regarded by some authors as barren asci.
In another case, and amongst more aged fungi, the hymeniumof which had ceased to give light, the stipe, on the contrary, threw out a brilliant glare.
When still young, and previous to the rupture of the volva, the hymenium presents sinuous cavities in which the spores are produced on spicules, after the manner of Hymenomycetes.
From each of the four segments in the case of Tremella a long outgrowth arises which reaches to the surface of the hymenium and bears the basidiospores.
The gleba is usually differentiated into a number of chambers which are lined directly by the hymenium (basidial layer), or else the chambers contain an interwoven mass of hyphae, the branches of which bear the basidia.
A solution of iodine is also used as a test owing to the blue or wine-red colour which the thallus, hymenium or spores may give with this reagent.
In these forms gonidia are found in connexion with the young fruit; such algal cells undergo numerous divisions becoming very small in size and penetrating into the hymenium among the asci and paraphyses.
The two best-known genera are Cora and Dictyonema; Corella, whose hymenium is unknown, is also placed here by Wainio.
When the fungus predominates in the thallus it has a bracket-like mode of growth and is found projecting from the branches of trees with the hymeniumon the under side.
Laudatea), Corella (doubtfully placed here as the hymeniumis unknown).
One cannot always depend on the color of the lamellæ since a number of the species possess colored cystidia or spines in the hymenium which disguise the color of the spores.
Hymenium smooth (not as in B, though it may be convolute and irregular, or ribbed, or veined).
The yellow color is not confined to the cystidia, for the sub-hymenium is also colored in a similar way.
Hymenium on the surface of the gleba which is enclosed within the peridium up to the maturity of the spores or longer; spores continuous, sphæroid or ellipsoid, hyaline or colored.
A few of them are forked toward the base, and the surface and the space between them are marked by anastomosing veins forming a reticulum suggestive of the hymenium of the Polyporaceæ.
Hymenium either free at the beginning, or enclosed either permanently or temporarily in a more or less perfect peridium or veil.
These stand parallel, and together make up the entire or large part of the hymenium or fruiting surface which covers the gills, etc.
Gleba, the chambered tissue forming the hymenium (fruiting surface) in the puff-balls and their allies.
One exotic genus has the hymenium on numerous irregular obtuse lobes (Rhacophyllus).
In the Morel the hymenium or spore-bearing surface is crowded with these cysts, and covers the entire exposed conical and pitted surface of the mushroom.
Miss Banning finds in Maryland what appears to be a form of this species in which the part of the hymenium near the stem consists of lamellæ, the rest of tubes.
In Gastromycetes the hymenium is always concealed within a covering which bursts at maturity, as with the Lycoperdons or puff-balls.
Resupinate; hymenium with scattered wart-like granules, which become more or less elongated and excavated at the apices.
The Puff-ball belongs to the Cohort Gastromycetes, because its spores are protected within the hymenium until they are matured.
The flexuous reticulated rugæ present an appearance similar to that of the hymenium of a Merulius.
The hymenium or spore-bearing surface exposed at an early stage.
So called from the hymenium or fruit-bearing surface.
In the second—Gastromycetes—the hymenium is at first enclosed in a sac or peridium, as in the common puff-ball.
Stem distinct, bearing the hymenium at its expanded apex.
The lower surface or hymenium is frequently rough with numerous acicular projections, making the plant look like a Hydnum when viewed horizontally.
In other families the cap and stalk appear fused together and undistinguishable; or the fructification assumes the form of the cap or the stalk only, and the hymenium does not form gills.
Hymenium within a closed fruit-body, which does not open until the spores are ripe; saprophytes.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "hymenium" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
